CAM Principles

Catalog description

Examines geometric modeling using selected CAD/CAM software to graphically model parts in 2D, 3D wireframe, and solid formats, generate G‑code, and post‑process programs into formats interpretable by specific CNC controllers. Topics include editing G‑code with verification of toolpaths through 3D and solid model simulation, downloading programs to CNC turning and milling centers, and machining parts. Also covers the use of metrology methods to verify the dimensional and geometric accuracy of manufactured parts.
